The Seattle Canoe & Kayak Club is co-ed, multi-age, and practices on Green Lake in Seattle Washington. The Seattle Canoe & Kayak Club is affiliated with the USA Canoe and Kayak Team (USACK), and the City of Seattle Department of Parks & Recreation. Our program offers a lot of fun, hard work and pay-offs. Year-round membership on is a big commitment, but in return it offers physical and mental training, skills and confidence building, socialization, coaching, competition and the opportunity for both team and personal success. As a community, we are learning how important it is to make these opportunities available to our club members.
